[PATCH 6/7] [gdb/testsuite] Use unique portnum in parallel testing

[Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>]

When instrumenting get_portnum using:
...
puts "PORTNUM: $res"
...
and running:
...
$ cd build/gdb
$ make check-parallel -j2 TESTS=gdb.server/*.exp
...
we run into:
...
Running gdb.server/abspath.exp ...
PORTNUM: 2345
...
and:
...
Running gdb.server/bkpt-other-inferior.exp ...
PORTNUM: 2345
...

This is because the test-cases are run in independent runtest invocations.

Fix this by handling the parallel case in get_portnum using:
- a file $objdir/cache/portnum to keep the portnum variable, and
- a file $objdir/cache/portnum.lock to serialize access to it.

Tested on aarch64-linux.
